mobile phones and in the circuitry.

-it is used in tools and buildings

-it is used trams, lorries, cars, trains, etc

nickel, Ni, 28

-Nickel is used primarily for the alloys it forms.

It is used for making stainless steel and many
other corrosion resistant alloys. Copper-nickel
alloy tubing is used in desalination plants.
Nickel is used in coinage and for armor plating.
When added to glass, nickel gives a green color.
Nickel plating is applied to other metals to
provide a protective coating. Finely divided
nickel is used as a catalyst for hydrogenating
vegetable oils. Nickel is also used in ceramics,
magnets, and batteries.
